RE: Anyone ever reconstruct a destroyed fan mount?
cut you a small half moon from cardboard.lay the feathers out on it in an order,starting from each side.when you got the main ones.run a bead of hot glue across the quills about an inch from the tip. then take the next size feathers and do the same,then the next size,till you are finished.then cut a circle of leather or felt cloth,lay the fan in the center and fold it over and sew inbetween each feather.your done.
